Scent description (editorial impression)
Sun-warmed skin after a day outdoors, to one wearer; the softest angora and cashmere, to another: honeyed woods and amber with a haze of white flowers and pepper. Owners wear it from freezing winters into summer and collect compliments, one hearing men murmur at a social kiss; for critics it is a grandmother's-vanity scent, too mature, or pleasant but without surprises.
Drawn from 24 independent reports across 2 venues.
